Intrepid author, traveller and researcher, Sunita Dwivedi set out on an exhaustive journey through Central Asia in search of ancient statutes of Buddha. Retracing the paths forged by great Buddhist monks over the centuries, she negotiated scorching deserts,ush meadows, dry steppeands, snow-capped mountains and gushing river valleys to chronicle theife and times of the many Budh viharas in which these statues had been instated. Drawing upon her extensive sojourns, Sunita recreates in this volume the bygone eras in which these shrines were once great centres ofearning and devotion. And, juxtaposing past grandeur with the dereliction of the present, Sunita brings back to vividife the holy path of dharma these viharas once espoused.
